The way we control our energy use has been completely transformed by prepaid meters. They offer convenience and control over electricity bills. Prepaid meters, like any other technology, can age and need to be upgraded.
Meanwhile, In this blog article, we’ll go into the main reasons why it’s necessary to upgrade your prepaid meter in order to have a seamless and continuous electricity experience.
Reasons why you should do a meter upgrade
1. Technological Advancements:
Technology as a whole is always changing, and prepaid meters are no different. Manufacturers update their meters frequently to include new features, stronger security measures, and higher levels of efficiency. Getting a newer model will guarantee you the advantages of these improvements.
2. Limitations with system compatibility
Also, The most recent billing software and communication methods employed by electricity providers may not work with older meters. This may result in data transfer problems, billing errors, and troubleshooting challenges. Upgrading guarantees that DisCo’s network and your meter can communicate seamlessly.
3. Safety Concerns
Also, In today’s digital environment, cybersecurity concerns are an increasing worry. That is to say, it’s possible that older meters contain security holes that hackers could take advantage of. Upgrading to a newer model with improved security measures guarantees that your meter cannot be tampered with and safeguards your data.
4. Rollover and functionality
For recharging, a lot of prepaid meters use token codes. There are built-in expiration dates on these codes. As a result, your present meter may become obsolete if you don’t upgrade it before the token rollover. Above all, upgrading guarantees that your meter will continue to work and be compatible with the most recent recharge systems.
5. Improved user experience after meter upgrade
lastly, newer prepaid meters often boast user-friendly interfaces, multi-functionality features, and even mobile app integration. Upgrades can provide a more convenient and informative experience when managing your electricity usage and top-up needs.
in conclusion, upgrading your prepaid meter is not just about staying up-to-date with technology; it’s about ensuring a reliable and secure electricity experience.

If you reside within the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Niger, Kogi, and Nasarawa states where Abuja Electric (AEDC) covers, you might have probably experienced how difficult it can be to pay electricity bills at AEDC office or at a vendor’s.
Why go through all that hassle, when technology today has made it super easy to make such payments conveniently?
With VTpass, Nigeria’s leading online payment platform, you can easily sit in the comfort of your home or office and pay AEDC bills in a flash. It’s easy! Here’s how to pay with VTpass:
At VTpass, our ultimate priority is making sure our customers get the services they pay for when they need it. Our online payment platform, vtpass.com, is right on hand to do just this. By logging on to vtpass.com, customers get to conveniently pay for everyday services. And these services range from electricity bills,cable tv subscriptions to airtime and data subscriptions. So, many go on to pay for electricity bills in their comfort and also get to receive their tokens immediately via email and SMS. But then, some tokens don’t come in as fast as they should. Hence, it would be good we get to know why tokens do not come in immediately in these rare cases.
Well, it should be known firsthand that vtpass.com as an online payment platform is not in anyway responsible for the generation of tokens. The electricity distribution companies are, at the most, responsible for the token generation. And so, vtpass.com is hardly responsible for the delay in token generations. The delay in a token generation is mostly due to two factors.
SERVICE BREAKDOWN
Once a while, the service operations of the electricity DISCOS might experience a slight, temporary breakdown which might delay the generation of tokens to customers. What this inadvertently means is that any sort of transaction with the affected DISCO through offline channels will also be virtually suspended for the period of breakdown.
However, when this occasional breakdown occurs, VTpass always does make sure it gets a fix as soon as possible. Through our several correspondences with the DISCOS, our customers get to receive their tokens as soon as the DISCO’s issues are resolved.
Also, we keep constant conversations with our customers through the various support channels. Hence, you can reach us through our contact, email and live chat. And you can simply follow us on Twitter @vtpass.
BAD NETWORK
So, this is yet another reason why tokens generation might come with a delay. As these tokens come in through email and SMS, the availability of the network come to bear on its transmission. So that a bad, fluctuating network might cause a delay in a token generation.
Any which way, VTpass has proven over time to be a simple and sure way of settling bills quickly. Just by logging on to vtpass.com, you can pay your electricity bills, DSTV,STARTIMES AND GOTV subscriptions in record time.
